Fincept Terminal
C++ financial research terminal with embedded Python analytics
What it is
A native C++20 desktop terminal for financial research, built with a Qt6 interface and embedded Python analytics for equity research, portfolio management, and market data workflows. It connects to free public data feeds using your own API keys and offers node-based editing, news tracking, and analytics. The open-source edition suits students, hobbyists, and academic researchers; firms are directed to a separate proprietary Enterprise build. The open edition is licensed under AGPL-3.0, so copyleft obligations apply, and users bear their own data and LLM API costs.
